Popis: | Phytic acid (PA) has momentous chemotherapeutic potential. Due to the chelate formation and rapid elimination, it is not popular in cancer treatment. The present work was inquested to develop a surface-modified nanoformulation of PA which prevents its speedy elimination and maximizes chemotherapeutic action. Chloroauric acid was reduced with pectin to produce pectin-gold nanoparticles (PGNPs). PGNPs were incubated with PA and jacalin for drug loading and surface modifications, respectively, to form PA-loaded jacalin-pectin-gold nanoparticles (PA-J-PGNPs). Formulation(s) were assessed for various pharmaceutical/pharmacological parameters. To validate the efficacy against colon carcinogenesis, formulation(s) were assessed in 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-treated Wistar rats. DMH treatment distorted colonic architecture, oxidative, and hemodynamic parameters, which were favorably restored by PA-J-PGNP administration. To further confirm our deliberations, formulation(s) were also examined against DMH-altered metabolic changes and expression of markers pertaining to cellular proliferation, which was reinstated by PA-J-PGNPs. Our findings establish PA formulation(s) as a promising approach for suppression of colon carcinogenesis. |
